Ok I have spent a while now on making my website and learning all the codes etc. I thought it was now time for me to finally open up my first site. I have a host which was spare from my mate however currently it has a word press them on it. My question is probably pretty simple and easy to answer but how would I go about finding these files? My first thought was to go to the file manager as I have had limited experience with this before but I was unable to find them anywhere. All I found was a bunch of folders which were obviously placed there by default. So where should I go from my Control Panel to delete these files so I can upload my site? Thanks in advance.

you just have to delets those files inside the public_html folder. The best way to do this is to use your ftp to delete those files. it's way faster.
I think you need to clarify what you are after. Don't delete anything just yet. If you are looking for the proper location to place/upload your site files, open up the file manager and click the folder for public_html or www. That's where the website "starts". If there is a wordpress install already residing on your website, you would have to delete specific files from the public_html folder or if it was installed using fantastico, it would be easier to uninstall it from there.
These are the type of files I found in my www folder; These are the type of files I found in my public_html folder; What I want to do is clear everything so that I can start fresh, basically so nothing is on there. How would I go about doing this?
Those two folders are the same thing. You can delete all of those files and it will get rid of the wordpress install. I would check in CPanel under Fantastico De Luxe icon to see if wordpress was installed using it. If it was, use their uninstall since it will remove the databases as well as the files. If not, it would be faster to use FTP to delete those files.
